Just like the esoteric oriental tradition of spirituality, modern physics does not conceive matter as being passive, inert, static, but as being in a continuous vibratory movement. The rhythms of these movements are determined, among other things, by the atomic, nuclear and molecular structures. Therefore both science and spirituality converge toward the idea that the Universe is dynamic, being in a continuous movement of oscillation. Nature is not in a static, but in a dynamic equilibrium. Here is what a Taoist text says about this matter:

The silence in silence is not the true Silence. Only when there is calmness in movement, the spiritual rhythm [vibration] which penetrates the Sky and the Earth is born. Therefore everything is vibration. Here is what the scientists say about the subject: Everything is vibration. Everything is movement. The Void [Primordial Substratum] fluctuates, according to certain laws, between Existence and Non-existence. The quanta (a small, indivisible unit of energy) born as a result of the vibratory movement of the void, are virtual, i.e. they do not materialize into real particles that can be observed. They need a certain mass and energy in order to have material existence.�

LAMPOON DICTIONARY OF PARTYCALL FIZZ666 The Spirituality-Not of Atom Smashing - Free the Particles! By Claire Grace Watson

The whole Universe is made of lots of things and phenomena, from the smallest atoms to the greatest galaxies. Their common element is that they are all moving. WHY everything is moving is a question to which modern science has no answer. Modern science has however made some progress in explaining HOW things move. Modern (quantum) physics states the existence of FOUR FORCES (assuming as a hypothesis the necessary existence of a FIFTH FORCE which unifies the first four). This theory is a rediscovery of the eastern theory of the five tattva's (or subtle principles earth, water, fire, air, ether).

RITUAL OF THE CATHEDRAL PORTAL The Cosmic Shield Guides for Personal and Planetary Ascension - Concourse of the Forces By Claire Grace Watson

According to physics, the four forces who act in the Universe are: the strong and the weak forces (who keep atoms together), the force of gravity (who describes the movement of bigger material bodies) and the electromagnetic force (such as light). All these four forces have something in common: they all move in waves. Therefore the waves represent the basic movement of the Universe. Even though this subject may seem complicated, its basic principles are very simple. Once these principles are clearly understood, we can make progress in understanding the physical characteristics of resonance and harmony.

The propagation of light, for example, is sometimes explained as a flux of particles (photons, a quantum of electromagnetic energy) moving through space. But certain experiments produced results that cannot be explained if we consider that light is just a flux of particles. The fundamental element here is that even in these cases light nevertheless moves through space. Searching for a more comprehensive model, at least in the case of light propagation, we can ask ourselves if there is also something else, besides particles, who can move from one place to another. The answer is yes, there is. If we throw a stone into a pond, we can see it: a wave.

As it was said above, just like in the Eastern doctrines, in modern physics there are already theoretical models that show that the entire Universe has vibration as its essential nature and that a certain modulated vibration can describe (build) a whole Universe.

For understanding easier this principle, let's analize a one-dimensional vibration. Let's suppose that we have a chord placed between two fixed points (fig. 1a). If we stretch the chord at its middle point and then let it go, the chord will start to oscillate and it will produce two symmetrical curves. If we stretch the chord at a quarter of its length and then let it go, the chord will start to oscillate and it will produce the effect shown in fig. 1b.

This effect is called stationary (or standing) wave. Standing waves manifest only when the chord is acted upon at distances that divide its wavelength in integer parts. In fig. 1a, the length of the support is half a wavelength (therefore, nodes are identical with the two fixed points). In fig. 1b the length of the support is one wavelength. We notice in fig. 1b that the point N is static and remains so during the whole oscillation of the chord. This point is called a node. Nodes are points that do not move along a chord in stationary vibration.

Let's suppose now that we have a thin metal plate that we fix on one side like in fig. 2. We will spread on this sheet of metal a uniform and very thin layer of fine sand. Then, with a fiddlestick we touch one of the free sides until a sound is produced.

As a result of the sound, the plate of metal will start to vibrate. We will notice then that the layer of sand will make certain shapes that are symmetrical. This shape is a result of the stationary waves created in the sheet of metal as a result of its vibration. This is a bidimensional replica of the previous experiment. In this case, the sand accumulates in those areas where the metal plate does not vibrate (nodes). In other words, the sand particles will accumulate in the points with the lowest energy. Therefore, the stationary waves divide the metal plate in an integer number of wavelengths. The dimensions of the metal plate are important in creating these stationary waves and therefore the nodes with low energy. When a certain structure enters in resonance (which means that at that time that structure vibrates on a certain frequency that is specific to that structure only and which can be maintained with least effort) this process of resonance will immediately produce stationary waves.

We can continue and visualize the same phenomenon in three dimensions. Let's say we have a glass cube full of a certain liquid in which tiny particles are in uniform suspension (see fig. 3).

By making all six sides of the cube vibrate simultaneously, we will notice that the particles in suspension will accumulate in certain areas (nodes) giving birth to symmetrical 3D shapes. This looks very much alike to the structure of a crystal. In this case we created a system of 3D stationary waves. We can say that these stationary waves are in fact the sound of that 3D structure (this shows that there is a direct link between form and sound). The stationary waves created order in an substance that had no definite form (it was amorphous). When a vibration energizes a substance, it will produce certain zones of fullness and of emptiness; in other words, zones which have the nature of a particle, zones that have the nature of a wave (energetic field). This complementarity wave-particle is a fundamental duality of the whole manifestation.

If we look carefully at waves in a pond, we observe that even though water moves up and down in a wave, it (water) does not advance (it stays in the same place). This becomes even more clear if there is a little piece of wood floating on the water: the wood moves up and down, but does not go anywhere. In other words, a wave can travel long distances, but water stays where it was before.

Therefore we can say that a wave is a perturbation (disturbance) that propagates through a medium. The medium though does NOT advance in the direction of the disturbance. A wave is something that can travel from one place to another without being a material particle or a flux of particles.

Waves manifest in all phenomena of the Universe, from the everyday noises, whose frequencies are from a few cycles/second to tens of thousands of cycles/second, to the radio waves, whose frequencies are between 500 and 15,000 million cycles/second, to the cosmic radiations, whose frequencies are over 1 followed by 22 zeroes cycles/second! The mental and psychic waves have even greater frequencies, but the nature of these vibratory processes is similar. Their frequencies depend on the quality and refinement of our thoughts and feelings (for example the frequency of a feeling of love is much higher than the frequency of a feeling of sadness).

According to Dr. Arnaud, a french scientist, all vibrations of the physical world are between almost zero and 1 followed by 22 zeroes cycles/second. This represents the lower octave of the Universe (physical world). According to the same scientist, the vibrations of the astral and mental world are between 12 followed by 32 zeroes and 96 followed by 39 zeroes cycles/second! In the eastern tradition it is known that these frequencies continue to rise as we access higher levels of manifestation.

How are these vibrations behaving in the living matter? Do we have receivers for each gamut of vibrations? Do we / can we perceive all vibrations?

The vibratory energies are classified according to a scale of vibratory levels described by their frequency of vibration. The frequency defines the quality (type) of the energy. The amplitude defines the quantity of the energy. The vibratory frequencies are dependent on the inherent (intrinsic - existing as an essential constituent or characteristic) properties of the emitter or receiver. Thus, for example, the vibratory frequencies received by the ear are between 16 and 20,000 cycles/second. The eye receives vibrations between 1 followed by 14 zeroes and 1 followed by 15 zeroes cycles/second, etc. In this way, every sense organ functions and can interpret only certain determined frequencies. The range of perception of the five senses is extremely limited compared to the whole range of the frequencies in the Universe. Besides the five sense organs, the human being has also other senses (receivers of vibratory energy), which most of the time are latent (dormant)(for example, clairvoyance), but which can be awakened through appropriate training.

ATLANTIS - HOW I CONNECTED The Reptile Race Emerges from Antiquity to Reveal Itself By Claire Grace Watson

In vibratory terms, consciousness is the aptitude of a system to respond to stimuli (information). This system can be complex (for example a human being) or very simple (for example a cell). If we will hit an atom with a ray of energy, the atom will respond in a certain way. When we stop this stimulus, the atom comes back to its initial state. This response is a manifestation of the consciousness of the atom.

The same experiment can be done with a cell, an animal or a human being. Of course, the higher developed systems will react in a more complex way than the more primitive systems. The more a system is complex, the more he will have a broader gamut of responses.

Since the human being is an epitome of the Universe, the number of possible responses increases enormously. We will say that the number of possible responses represents the quantitative aspect of consciousness. Maybe to some this will seem artificial, because most people associate the idea of consciousness with living beings only. This happens because of our limitation and ignorance. We restrict the meaning of the term living being only to those beings that can reproduce themselves. An intelligent person can see that this vision is totally arbitrary, because what we are doing is to project our own behavior to other systems and judge them according to our standards. According to those standards, atoms, for example, are not alive, just because they do not exist and behave like us!

The eastern wisdom defined thousands of years ago the concept of spanda (vibration or flashing forth of the Divine Consciousness), as being the fundament of the entire manifestation of the Universe. In this vision, consciousness is everywhere, even in the most insignificant particle of matter. In other words, the whole matter contains consciousness (therefore, life) in various proportions. The power who is hiding in various degrees the consciousness of everything that exists is called maya, the veil of illusion. This degree of the presence of consciousness represents the qualitative aspect of consciousness, and this aspect is expressed by the frequency of vibration.

The ancient eastern sages, as a result of their personal experimentation at the deepest levels of consciousness, structured the human being and the Universe in seven octaves of vibration (corresponding to the seven cakras). These levels express precisely the quality of consciousness.

SARASVATI'S CHAKRA COLOR HEALING SYSTEM Light Energy Healing Modality with Chakra Colors By Claire Grace Watson

A system has also an activity of energetic exchange with its surrounding world (metabolism). This activity shows the intensity and range of the energetic exchanges between a system and its environment. If this energetic activity does not extend over a certain range of frequencies, the reality corresponding to those frequencies does not exist for that system!

Therefore there is in nature a specter of relative realities for every category of system that manifests a certain level of consciousness. We can understand now that even a stone has its own consciousness, therefore its own relative reality. The beings from the superior levels of the Universe can interact with their surroundings to a much greater extent than can beings from lower levels. As we rise to a superior level of existence, the magnitude of the reality experienced and our freedom grows exponentially.

In order to understand the nature of the Absolute and of the relative aspects of the Real, we will make an analogy, which must not be taken literally, since the Absolute is undefinable. Let's imagine an endless and extremely deep Ocean. The surface of the water is so peaceful and calm that is almost invisible. This is the reference, the basis of all comparisons. Let's imagine now that on the surface of the ocean suddenly appear waves which create vibrations. These vibrations make the almost invisible surface of the water to become visible.

Analogically, when a vibration is produced into the Absolute, It becomes manifest, visible. We call this relative reality. The thing that must not be forgotten is that the ocean is the unifying element which penetrates and harmonizes all relative realities. This is why the Ocean can be called Absolute Existence or Pure Consciousness.

We can produce waves at the surface, but the more profound levels will never be disturbed. They will forever be in a state of peace (calm). We can say that big and noisy waves (low frequency) correspond to the lower levels of relative reality, and the fine and quick ripples (high frequency) correspond to the higher levels of manifestation.

If we will ask a quantum physicist what is an electron made of, he will answer that an electron is a pattern of waves who vibrate at a certain frequency which determines its energy. But if we will ask the physicist WHAT is that which vibrates, he will answer "nobody knows." Using the analogy with the ocean, we can say that the electron is a wave on the surface of the ocean. This wave vibrates in comparison with the deep, still levels of the Pure Consciousness. Therefore we will be able to answer to the question WHAT vibrates in an electron by saying that a unit of pure consciousness vibrates there.

If we are right in our fundamental concept, if there is a grain of reality in our hypothesis, and if there is a substratum of truth in our idea of the atom from which the elements are compounded, it is to be recognized as a life working intelligently through the medium of a form. (The Consciousness of the Atom, The Evolution of the Thinker, Alice Bailey, 1922)

When we understand that Reality is made of two aspects: one is the bottom of the ocean and the other is the surface which vibrates, we realize that spirit and matter emerge from the same fundamental essence. The solid matter is expressed as the big, slow waves at the surface of the ocean (low frequency, big amplitude)(which is a more restricted manifestation of the consciousness), whereas the mind, for example, is like a very fine and quick ripple (high frequency, small amplitude)(which is a more intense and free manifestation of consciousness).

Going deeper into this analogy, we can define the Absolute as being an infinitely delicate vibration of practically zero amplitude and infinite frequency. In this situation, we have a perfectly calm surface which contains a tremendous energy. We call this energy Creative potential. This very powerful and extremely refined energy is also endowed with wisdom, which confers to every system an aptitude of auto-organization (can function as a whole). The more reduced the amplitude, the higher the energy (frequency) and the closer the peaks of the vibratory wave. When the vibrations become so fast and the peaks are so close as to become identified with each other, a quasi-static state is attained, in which the movement remains potential. Then the energy of the system becomes infinite. Therefore, the Absolute is a state in which the opposites (peak and valley) become one. Thus, movement and rest fuse into one. The Absolute crowns the hierarchy of the relative realities, being in the same time their source. In his unmanifested form, the Absolute is a potential dynamism, whereas once manifested he (it) becomes the source and foundation of the entire Universe, from the physical matter to the most subtle realities.

God exists both mentally and emotionally, as well as spiritually and physically, in a strange kind of way which is really hard to explain. God is indeed more than a concept. God is in fact a being, a real, existing being who holds within God all the potential that we can manifest within ourselves as emotions, beliefs, concepts, ideologies, philosophies and all the things that make up our beingness, all the things that make us sentient, conscious beings. But God also has the quality of not having any of these things at all, so that God really kind of blinks on and off. First God is, then God isn't, God is, God isn't, and this gives God the ability to exist potentially. Only God can exist this way because only God can survive nonexistence and then return to exist, over and over again. Only God can do this, which is why God is God. God is a manner of being who can both exist and non-exist, all at the same time. It's really quite fascinating, don't you think? (Claire Grace Watson, Atlantis - How I Connected)

The idea of a supreme vibration as a foundation of the universe is common to many traditions of spirituality. The Gospel of John says, "At the beginning there was the Word," referring to the sonorous vibration of the creative Logos.

The idea of primordial vibration is very clearly expressed in the eastern tradition, mainly in the Kashmir Sivaism tradition called Spanda. The word Spanda means movement, vibration. This School says that nothing can exist without movement. Life "in its largest sense" cannot exist without movement. By comparison with the Supreme Reality, the great philosopher Abhinavagupta calls Spanda a pulsation, a rising of the spiritual happiness into the essential nature of the Divine, which include all the successive steps that follow. But how can we talk about the movement of the Absolute, since movement the way we know it takes place in space and time, being a measure of the modification of the position in space in relationship to time. The Absolute transcends space and time. This is why Spanda is defined as the dynamics of consciousness, being not a physical movement, not a psychological activity (like pleasure) and not even a movement of prana (energy) (such as hunger and thirst), but being the subtle vibration which is the source and foundation of all these. Spanda is the pulsation of the Ecstasy of the Divine Consciousness. It is the dynamics of the spirit and is expressing absolute freedom. In the human being, this energy spanda shakti is the unifying happiness of the effortless awareness of Self, being of the same nature as the substratum of the Universe. Referring to this vibration, Shiva Sutra says, the Self (atma) is the one who is dancing [i.e., vibrating in harmony].

The eastern philosophies, expressed in numberless legends and myths, talk about Shiva as the Cosmic Dancer, Shiva Nataraja who in the rhythm of His dance is creating and destroying the entire universe. The dance of Shiva is an admirable metaphor of existence as it is understood by modern science: a continuous movement on an infinite spectrum of frequencies.

In conclusion, we can look upon the entire creation as being an aggregate of vibratory phenomena, each having its own frequency. If we think that sounds are also frequencies, and that any vibration produces a sound, we can say that the entire creation is a grandiose symphony (the music of the spheres). In this world of vibrations, RESONANCE is therefore the paramount phenomenon who links two or more vibratory compatible processes.

In acoustics, resonance happens when an elastic body starts to vibrate due to a sonorous signal (sound) that is produced close to that body. In electromagnetism, we call resonance the superimposing of two frequencies of identical characteristics (same wavelength). When the two identical frequencies superimpose, the resulting wave is amplified. This amplification can reach very high values, called points of resonance. Therefore, resonance has as main effect the amplifying of the intensity or amplitude of a sound or radiation.

We saw that a wave is always born by something that moves. Light waves, radio waves, ocean waves, gravitational waves, sonorous waves, mental waves, or any other kind of waves, they all exist and manifest because somewhere, something is moving. Nothing can move in one place without inducing sooner or later another movement in another place of the Universe. A wave makes those things that are in its way move in a way similar to the initial movement who generated the wave.

If two waves push an object in the same direction, the object will move faster in that direction. If two waves push an object in opposite directions, the object will move slower. If the direction of the two waves make an angle, the object will change direction, etc. In fact, in these cases the waves do not actually affect each other, they just interfere with each other. The phenomenon of interference is happening continuously in the world of waves.

Let's say there are two independent sources of waves. In this case there are four possibilities:

1- If the waves have equal frequencies and same period, they amplify each other (resonance or consonance).
2 - If the waves have equal frequencies and opposite period, they work against each other (dissonance, discord).
3 - If the frequencies are close, but not equal, they produce the phenomenon of beating. The beating is a result of a periodical interference, in other words, sometimes the waves amplify each other, sometimes they work against each other. The resulting wave is a modulated wave, whose frequency will be the difference between the two initial frequencies.
4 - If the frequencies are very different, they do not influence each other at all.

Any object that moves periodically can be considered an oscillator. Oscillators modify their environment (for example air, water, gravitational field, etc.) by creating waves. Let's say we have two violins tuned up identically. We put the two violins on the table, and on one of them we produce a sound by vibrating one chord. We will notice that on the other violin (which we did not touch) the corresponding chord (which therefore is tuned to the same frequency) will also start to vibrate, producing a sound similar to the sound produced by the first violin. This is a phenomenon of resonance. The two violins make up a resonant system.

These phenomena of resonance can be very well ascribed to our inner world of thoughts, feelings and emotions as well as to our way to associate with other people and with our surroundings. Thoughts, feelings, ideas, etc., attract, evoke and amplify each other through resonance. Those thoughts/feelings who do not have equal frequencies do not influence each other. And those thoughts/feelings who have opposite frequencies tend to cancel each other.

1. An outburst of growing anger between two people is a manifestation of the phenomenon of resonance. The person who gets angry creates waves of anger who spread into his surroundings. In this way, his anger will be easily transmitted to the other person. If this other person accepts these frequencies in his aura, he will get angry too, producing waves of the same frequency, who will influence the first person through resonance, amplifying his anger. In this way, as long as they are together, their anger will grow continuously.
2. Two people who agree on a subject are attracted to each other, because they resonate.
3. A very important aspect of resonance is the group resonance. In this case, if a group of people are synchronized and think or feel the same thoughts/feelings, the power of those thoughts/feelings is greatly amplified. This phenomenon is very obvious in healing circles, where a group of people are synchronized and send energy (which is amplified through resonance) to one person who needs help. In this way, the participants do not need to be very powerful or skilled, because their efforts, however clumsy, will add and will amplify through resonance, creating a noticeable effect which otherwise may not have been obtained by a single individual.

I would like to add here the result of a portal ritual that I led which involved over 500 people performing the ritual I created at exactly the same time all over the planet. I learned from this that group resonance can manifest an object into a person's reality that was not there before but that mimics something that was there before. Here is my account of this:

This is my ritual result. After I performed the ritual, I discovered an apport. From the French apporter, apport means to bring. It is the penetration of matter by objects which seem to enter the room through solid matter. In this case the apport came through my portal. When we performed the Rock Eagle ritual, I used a glass jar of water from the Chalice Well at Glastonbury Tor. It was given to me by Cynthia at a gathering in her home in North Carolina. At the end of the Pyramid ritual, I had not one but two identical glass jars of Chalice Well water.

The second glass jar appeared after I spoke the ritual words. My voice was different, and the words came out of me with an impressive tone of power and authority. I loved the feel of the words and the flow of the ritual. I said the ritual twice, to experience the voice and the words again. I meditated for about 1-1/2 hours, as long as the sublime, deeply cellular feeling lasted. Then I felt energetic and decided to move four milky quartz Rock Eagle rocks in my bedroom to outside on the patio. When I picked up the rocks I saw the second jar of Chalice Well water between the rocks and my printer.

The jars are twins in every way. The original jar is transparent glass with a black plastic lid with dust. The water is clear with white particles floating. The water has a distinct odor. On the bottom of the lid are the letters MRP in an oval. Beneath that are the numbers and letters, 70MM. On the bottom of the jar are the numbers 2244, the letter B in a circle, bottom center, and to the left of the B, the number 5. Below the B the number 6, the number associated with Merkaba.

The new jar is the same size exactly as the original jar. It is transparent glass with a black plastic lid with dust, identical to the original jar. The water is clear with white particles floating. The water has the same distinct odor. The new jar contains the same amount of water the original jar contained before I used it in the Rock Eagle ritual. On the bottom of the lid of the new jar are the letters MRP in an oval. Beneath that are the numbers and letters, 70MM. On the bottom of the new jar are the numbers 2244, the letter B in a circle, bottom center, and to the left of the B, the number 5. Below the B the number 5, the number associated with the Holy Grail. The jars are numbered sequentially and in descending order, like the vessels of the Kabala Tree of Life. I call the twin jars Ka and Ba, as in the pyramid ritual:

To my Spirit, my Ka, unite my Soul, my Ba.

Ka is Spirit, the jar from above, and Ba is Soul, the jar from below. Collectively, they are Kabala.

The Chalice Well at Glastonbury Tor, in the county of Somerset, England, is supposed to have hidden within it the Holy Grail, making the water holy and healing. The Grail is believed to be the chalice used by Jesus at the Last Supper. It is supposed to have miraculous powers and was sought for by the Knights of the Round Table, the perfect spiritual knighthood, for whom the Grail materialized at the Round Table.

In the old legend, the purest knight of them all became the Grail King, or Queen as it were, and took possesion of the Grail. (Thanks, I'll take it. Nice feedback.) In the legend, the journey then becomes sharing the Grail, the idea being that becoming spiritually pure enough to manifest the Grail is easy compared to staying that way when you're out walkabout in the unenlightened world as the Grail King/Queen. Ain't that the truth?!

(Update - A couple of years after that I ended up throwing the Holy Grail twins into a Dempsey dumpster in Seattle because I was pilgrimage - out sharing the Grail so to speak - and they were taking up too much room in my suitcase. Also, I didn't ever want to be tempted to test my theory about drinking the water, which looked pretty vile, that only the current owner could safely drink it. The Grail is just the symbol of something, it's not the thing itself, so there's no point in schlepping it around in a suitcase. I bet Sir Galahad didn't haul his around in his saddlebags and he only had one to worry about, not two :)

(Addendum - November, 2017 - You can throw the Grail away, you can throw two Grails away, and it will come back. Takes it awhile, tho. I got another one, this time a hardwood ornate box with a heavy pointed lid that looks just like the one she is holding in the picture above but without the stem, and that sits under my Buddha statue. It filled itself up with water and gave me another opportunity to drink some vile looking Grail water. I poured it down the sink. Perhaps I am missing my big opportunity to drink the Grail water and become immortal but I already am immortal so I don't know what's the point. If it means I can be completely healed of whatever I have, like osteoarthritis or asthma, then I am missing my chance. But my vision did correct itself all by itself to 20-30 the same week I found the new Grail water, so perhaps it gave up on me and decided to do it's thing whether I drink it or not. My conclusion is, you don't actually have to drink the Grail water, thank goodness, to get the healing benefit, just have the Grail in your possession.)

Resonance is a link. The way to create this link is codified in the various techniques or modus operandi of the various spiritual paths. He who understands deeply the law of Resonance has found the core of all ways to approach all the dimensions of the Universe.
